Today in Obadiah, we are talking about the concept of schadenfreude. This is when someone takes pleasure in the misfortune of others. In our world, things have become so polarized that it seems as though when our “enemies” or those who disagree with us, especially theologically or politically, have a misfortune, it’s tempting to say, “Ha! You got what was coming to you!” For many of us, that may be one of our daily temptations. It’s easy to wish that upon those we are tempted to see as our enemies and then take pleasure in it. In the text today, we see that is not something that pleases the Lord.
